This will probably go unheard but the 1200kcal is a datum! You can still have 4000kcal a day as long as you burn 2800kcal through cardio. That's the way it works; you off set the extra calories by thrashing yourself up a mountain.

Exactly - rather than making me eat less I'm finding that I'm actually starting to exercise more
Or stacking 3 tons of beer barrels / malt every day?

Well obviously, but I'd be under the impression that the OP is exercising all she wants to at the moment, hence 1200 cals is what it returns.
read grahamS posts littlemisspanda, you get to add back in any exersize you do.
so: 1200 cal per day, go for run (uses up 500cal) so total allowance for the day is 1700 calories.
OK?

I'm sure you can. But I don't want to "get by". Food isn't just fuel to humans, it's linked to lots of pleasurable and social activities too. That's why I dislike the "diet" idea - as something to be endured or suffered. My thought is that it's better to settle on a sustainable regime which contains commonly available (and oh-so-very-tasty) "bad" things rather than some Atkins-like torture which you will abandon the very moment you hit target weight.Frankly I'd rather be a little bit overweight and have a nice time than ripped and f***ing miserable because I can't have a glass of sherry and some Kettle Chips.
I'd be miserable if had to drink sherry and eat kettle chips. eeewww.

if you read the thread more carefully, this is pretty much already established.
For weight loss, the +/- offset obviously needs to be greater
